Whipper-Young's drawing is on display at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia as part of an exhibition titled "Crayola IDEAworks: The Creativity Exhibition." "I really believe that creativity is in all of us and with this exhibition and the drawing, the purpose is to inspire people to find their own creative pulse," Whipper-Young, an art teacher, said in a video promoting the exhibition. "Everything you see in this drawing is a reflection of what's in Crayola IDEAworks," she said. "It has sea, it has land, it has space. You'll really get to experience those things once you're in IDEAworks."
